Fans of Bavarian cars need only travel to Canada to snatch up this 1990 BMW Alpina B10 Biturbo listed at BringATrailer.com. The car is said to be number 135 out of 507 produced. It's offered by Splendid Auto in New Westminster, British Columbia.

The Alpina B10 was introduced at the Geneva motor show in March of 1989. It was one of the best-selling cars that the company ever produced. Alpina put its spin on the BMW engine, while Bosch and Motronic reprogrammed the fuel injection and ignition. The B10 came from Alpina with a Bilstein front suspension, Girling brakes and four-piston Lucas calipers.

The 1990 B10 began life as a BMW E34 5-series. E34 is BMWs internal designation for 5-series cars built from 1988-1996. The car was said to be faster than a Ferrari Testarossa at the time. It uses a 3.5-liter inline-six with two Garret T25 turbochargers to make 355 hp. Top speed is 181 mph.

This particular B10 has the rare M5 body kit that includes a new rear bumper and different lower body moldings. It has a new Alpina clutch, new Continental Sport Contact 3 tires, ignition wires, cap, rotor and plugs.

This B10 will cost you $21,900, and viewing is by appointment only. The car is 22 years old, meaning it is exempt from EPA requirements. The seller says that DOT-compliance work—headlights, side markers etc.—must be performed by a registered U.S. importer. The seller can also provide assistance in finding an importer.
